Re: Tigers vs Shermans
Interesting clip mostly for the veteran interviews and "tank porn" (despite the T-55 based "Tiger" on action shots). Some sloppiness typical to documentaries for general audience such as the Tiger's "gun sight", which didn't look anything like real WW2 German tank gun sight picture. Only some Soviet pre-war tanks had such oversimple sights. Also the implication that the Tiger I was designed primarily as a tank killer is wrong; the specs called for a breakthrough tank rather than a defensive tank killer vehicle, which also explains why the Tiger had so thick side armor for its time (1942).
